{"value"=>"<p>The production files contain programs, notated scripts, business correspondence, contracts, notes and other materials relating to the specific productions that Anglin both starred in and often produced or directed. This series includes both general production files and files from Anglin's Greek plays. The material includes correspondence and contracts to and from her lawyers and managers as well as her husband Howard Hull, who worked closely to support Anglin in her work. The richest material in these files are the prompt scripts, with Anglin's notes as to how scenes are to be played, entrances made, and dramatic pauses given.</p> <p>The Greek plays files within this series reflect much of the same kind of material contained in the general production files, but show Anglin exerting a higher level of creative control over her work. In the first two decades of the 20th century Anglin became noted for producing and starring in Greek tragedies that focused on women, including <span class=\"title\">Medea</span> and <span class=\"title\">Electra</span>. The Greek plays files include correspondence, posters, scrapbooks, programs, and Anglin's notes regarding the individual productions. The correspondence from these files demonstrates Anglin's skill at all aspects of theater -- she was involved in nearly every detail of her Greek productions, from casting to directing, starring and producing. This series also includes several sketches attributed to Hildreth Meiere.</p>"}
